SUGAR-MOLD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 722,137, dated March3, 1903.

AApplication tiled September 10,1902. Serial No. 122,764. (No model.)

T0 all whom, zit; may concern:

Be it known that I, HEINRICH PAssBURc, a citizen of the Empire ofGermany, residing in Moscow, in the Empire of Russia, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Sugar-Holds, of which thefollowing is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide means whereby sugar may beconveniently molded into plates of convenient form for being broken intosmall cubes or other forms for use; and for this purpose the inventionconsists of a sugar-mold comprising a frame open at its upper and lowerends, removable anged partition-walls arranged vertically in said frame,an exterior closed bottom at the lower end of said frame, said bottombeing detachably secured thereto and removable in outward direction fromsaid lower end of the frame, and a removable hopper-like cover locatedat the upper end of said frame.

In the accompanying drawings,Figure lis a vertical longitudinal sectionthrough a mold embodying my invention, the bottom and cover of the moldbeing removed a short distance from the frame or body of the same. Fig.2 is a top View of the mold, with parts broken away. Fig. 3 is avertical section through the mold at right angles to Fig. l. Fig. a is aplan view of the cover, a portion of the .same being broken away. Fig. 5is a plan view of the bottom, a portion being broken away. Figs. 6 and 7are respectively a plan view and side view of the hooks for connectingthe bottom removably with the frame or body; and Fig. S is a side viewof a handle adapted to be employed in transporting the mold.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

In the drawings, a indicates the frame or body of the mold, which may beof suitable cross-section, preferably square, and having closed sidewalls. This frame or body is open at its upper and lower ends. Twoopposite walls of said frame or body are provided, as indicated in Fig.2, with oppositely-arranged grooves b, which serve for loosely receivinga number of cross-walls c, which cross-walls are provided with verticaliianges arranged opposite each other and extending from top For closingthe to bottom of the cross-wall.

lower end of the frame or body a, a bottom@ is provided. This bottom hasan upwardlyprojecting flange extending around the same, so as to fitoverthe lower end of the frame or body, and is provided with a dovetailedgroove directly beneath thelower edge of the frame or body, in whichgroove is inserted a strip of rubber, so as to secure the tightconnection of the bottom with the frame or body a. The bottom is securedto the frame or body by means of hooks 7n, arranged one at each of twoopposite sides of the bottom, said hooks being pivoted to the bottom onsuitable studs or gudgeons g and adapted to hook overand upon studs orpins hon the frame or body of the mold. A flange 'L' extends around themold immediately below the pins h and serves for strengthening the moldat its ylower portion and for providing support for the pins h. EyeletsZ are provided at opposite sides of the frameor body a of the mold,which eyelets are adapted to receive the removable handle shown in Fig.8, so that the mold may be transported whenever desired.

When it is desired to mold sugar in the mold described, the bottom e isrst firmly secured to the frame or body by means of the hooks 7c. Thesehooks, which are not permanently secured to the studs or gudgeons g, butare removable therefrom, are placed at one end on the gudgeons and thenhooked over the studs or pins h. The hanged cross-walls c are nowinserted into the corresponding grooves b of the side walls of the mold,and the cover d is placed upon the upper end of the mold. The sugarsolution is now runinto the mold until the same is filled. During thefilling and crystallizing process the cover d prevents overflowing ofthe solution. When the mold is completely filled and sufficientlycooled, the cover is removed, the bottom also removed, and the entiremass, composed of the crystallized sugar and the intermediatecross-walls c, is forced out from the mold in either direction by anysuitable means. The plates of sugar form ed between the crosswalls c areby reason of the anges of said cross-walls provided with grooves and maybe easily broken at said grooves into strips of practically square crosssection, and said strips or sticks are then broken into pieces or blocksof any desired length.

Having thus described my invention, I frame, andarernovablehopper-likeooverlocated at the upper end of said frame, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
